Worst than that was the las year he was on spz, one different outfit every race, it looked like a zoolander movie rather than a proper balls out sprint to the finish line..

"And the whole class cheered" The calendar was in poor taste in any era. In 2021, it's more than tone deaf. Willfully ignorant is the phrase that comes to mind. This is the kind of content that's a direct attack on the (very marginal) progress on the DEI front in our sport. There's no both-sidism to be had here. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Give it 10-15 years and you'll understand. Meanwhile, don't skip those critical writing classes in the meantime.

You're arguing with some teenagers, man. I'd not put quite so much effort into it.

@Ooji- Is you reading comprehension that abysmal, or are you willfully obtuse? The issue has nothing to do with me. I simply started with expressing that I was part of the problem. it also has nothing to do with me looking at saucy pictures or enjoying the female form- it has to do with excluding women. Biking is a massively unbalanced sport, and with dudebros putting crap like this calendar out there it isn’t going to get any better. As men in a male dominated activity, we can separate our sport from sexualization and objectification of half the population. All...

We had plenty of Marzocchi calendars and other marketing material featuring scantily clad women on the walls of the bike shops where I worked throughout the 90s. I’m not proud of participating in the dehumanizing and objectification of women, and started working in better, more inclusive shops in 2001. The idea that there models are making the decision to appear in this calendar is irrelevant- this is the kind of immature, sexist bullshit that discourages women from the sport, from working in the industry, and frankly from wanting to be around cycling at all. Martha Gill and Amanda Batty are...

Found the teenagers. Yes, this is a wonderful way to get women into the sport. I'd be proud to show this to my daughter.

True, but has anyone been using them in the WC circuit? I'm fairly sure this is just a standard benchmarking, Specialized gravity has been running blacked out tires for years so they might as well test all of the options....

I'm taking it you've never owned a BOS suspension unit. Yes the rear shock was a lot easier to self service than the fork I owned. But servicing the fork was an absolute bitch, not what you want from a £1600 fork.
